Doily Dish Cloth
This crochet dish cloth has a lot of open lace, so it’s more of a doily. It works up quick and easy and makes for a great gift to go in a spa set or as part of a housewarming gift.
It’s an open lace stitch pattern, which might not be what you are looking for in a dishcloth, however, you can use it as a duster, washcloth for the bathroom or as a pretty doily around your home.
For this design I used a cotton yarn; Bernat Handicrafter Cotton, but any similar worsted weight yarn will work just as well.
